It was a sunny day at college
Tessa, Luna, and Mila sat in the college park during break time, enjoying the warm sun on their faces.
Tessa turned to Mila and said,
Tessa : "You know, I just can't even work for these four hours... but Luna is working till 11 pm."
Mila : "Then you should stop going if you feel tired."
Tessa rolled her eyes and said
Tessa : "But it's better than receiving a lecture from my mom."
Luna and Mila burst out laughing at Tessa's remark.
Mila turned to Luna and asked
Mila : "Luna, is she bothering you at work?"
Luna replied with a chuckle
Luna : "Aish, no, no."
Mila : Hmm Good !
They three were talking like that.. On the other side, some boys in the park were encouraging a boy to go and talk to his crush.
Harry : ( sighting his crush )
Ben , harry's friend
Ben : You should go talk to her bro
Harry ; No
Ben : You've been looking for 2 weeks bro.. You should atleast talk to her..
Harry : ( nodded as no with deep breath, still looking at his crush )
Ben : You should go and talk today.. Or else she will fine someone else. Is that okay for you ?
Harry : ( with sad eyes ) But,
Other friends : No buts.. Go
They pushed him forward..
Harry hesitated for a moment .his friends cheered him on as he took a deep breath and walked towards his crush. Harry's heart raced with anticipation and nerves.
Harry : He.. Helo.. Ex- Excuse meh
As he approached, Luna looked up and caught his eye.
Harry's friends, whispered to each other.
Harry reached Luna's table and stuttered
Harry : "Umm... Helo."
Luna turned to face him, a hint of a smile on her face.
Ben, Harry's friend, shouted from afar
Ben : "Go, Harry, go!"
The other boys chuckled and egged him on.
Luna looked at those boys with zero expression and
Luna : " how Can I help you?"
Harry's face turned bright red as he struggled to find his words.
Tessa and Mila, sensing the awkwardness, tried to stifle their giggles.
Just as Harry was about to give up, he remembered his friends' encouragement.
He took another deep breath and began to speak...
Harry: Hm... (he took a book from his bag and handed it over to her)
Luna: It's not mine...
Harry: Um... I... Uh... I know. It's mine.
Luna was confused, having no idea what Harry was doing. Mila noticed the boy's awkwardness and grabbed Tessa's arm, leading her away from the park.
Luna: Hey, Mila, wait!
Mila: Yeah, we'll go. You come soon. (without looking back)
Tessa: Aish, Mila, why did you do this? I was enjoying the scene...
Mila: (smiling) I know, but that boy seemed so uncomfortable, so...
Tessa nodded, and they headed to the classroom.
Harry looked at Luna, who got up from the table and asked
Luna : "Hey, what's with you? I don't even know you. You gave me your book and are standing there like... what's going on?"
Harry: Um... Hey... I... I have a doubt. Since you're the topper of our class... I decided to ask you. (nervous)
( Bell rang )
Luna: (smiling) Oh god, it's class time. I'll teach you later if I can... One more thing, who told you I'm a topper? (with a disgusted expression)
Harry: (nervous again) Me... I've seen you solving problems on the board many times.
Luna: (smiling) Okay, we'll talk later. I'm going to class.
Harry: Yeah, me too... Bye..
Luna left, and Harry turned, touching his heart, which was beating fast.
Harry: Ahh, what was that?
Harry's friends cheered, "Whooaa! You talked to her!"
They high-fived him and teased him playfully, "Harry's got a crush!"
Ben : " Dude, you were so nervous!" ( chuckling )
Harry ( nodded) : "I know, right? I thought I was going to die!"
Harry smiled, still trying to catch his breath. His heart was racing like a car.
Time passes
Luna and Tessa came to their part-time job
Luna approached Tessa, who was arranging water cans at their part-time job.
Luna: Um, Tessa...
Tessa: (looking at Luna) Yeah?
Luna: Today, I'll be leaving with you.
Tessa: Why? You're not working till 11 pm today, are you?
Luna: (looking confused) No... I have to make my father's payment today.
Tessa: Oh, before that mafia gang?
Luna: (determined) Yes, I can't let them pay again. I need to go soon.
Tessa: (nodding while arranging the cans) Okay...
Luna: (looking confused, took a deep breath) You're also coming with me.
Tessa flinched, and the cans fell from her hands.
Luna glared at her.
Tessa: (smiling nervously) Okay, okay... I'll go with you.
Luna chuckled at her, seeming to enjoy Tessa's nervousness.
8 pm
Tessa: Let's go.
Luna: Um, I'll inform the owner and I'll come with you, okay?
Tessa nodded and waited for her outside.
Luna approached the owner.
Luna: Um, sir...
Owner: Yes, what's up?
Luna: Sir, I'm leaving early today.
Owner: Why? You always leave after 11 pm. What's going on?
Luna: Sir, some personal issues... Please, just for today.
Owner: (sighed) I'll have to close early every day... You're the only person who's usually here. Who will take care of the store?
Luna: Sir, please understand...
Owner: (nodded) Okay, leave. I'll take care of it today. But remember, just for today.
Luna: Okay, sir... Thank you. (smiled and bowed to him before leaving the store)
